The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 3

[Sundancer]

So do Tim, Dick, Jason and Damien exist all in the same universe?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yes

I know DC has recently put out some new editions of Cataclysm and No Man's Land, but I can't tell if the Road to No Man's Land stories are in there. Anybody know if they are?

I don't see why DC would go to the trouble to collect the complete NML story, but leave those parts out.

I have a question about Lois Lane. In most stories, she constantly puts herself in mortal peril to both "get to the story" and so Superman can swoop in and save her. If Lois is such a superstar reporter that she apparently does this all the time, how did she survive for so long before Superman came to Metropolis? Has this ever been discussed?

 

[Panthro]

Are there any good Seven Soldiers of Victory trades to invest in?

Originally she was risky but knew when to back off if it was too much and did a lot of good with her stories but for a while they just made her an idiot who did stupid things to get stories because Superman would save her. She was more 'I can handle myself and will expose corruption' than 'Whatev's Superman will save me if I barge into the serial killers lair'.

I am looking for trades that cover Batman after Time & The Batman (#700-#703) of Morrison's run. There is Eye of the Beholder following this which covers (#704-707, #710-712). But I can't find anything picking up after that in trade form.
Nope nevermind, forgot it ended at #13, thought it went into 800 but that's Detective Comics.

Has the Joker ever been nice to anyone?

 

[Decepticonus]

Has the Joker ever been nice to anyone?

Batman, he provides him job security.

 

[jonathancrane]

Are there any good Seven Soldiers of Victory trades to invest in?

Morrison's run. All of it.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Has Batman ever fought any Kryptonians besides Superman? Like General Zod or someone like that?

 

[Mad Ones]

Does DC offer anything like Marvel Unlimited? I prefer reading comics digitally and I want to dive into contemporary Bat-stories without paying a fortune.

 

[Gee]

No they don't.

 

[Mad Ones]

So the cheapest way of going about it is to buy trades one at a time through comixology?

 

[DawnWarrior]

No they don't.

Dangit. That's DC, for you: always lagging behind.

 

[-Arya-]

You could always read them for free at Barnes and Noble. That's what I do because there is no way in hell I could afford all these books.

 

[Gee]

So the cheapest way of going about it is to buy trades one at a time through comixology?

Yeah, but wait when they're on promotion. Or like Arya suggests, read them at your retail bookstores while sipping your coffee. Or even better, why not make a trip to your local library? My sister has started reading graphic novels this summer and gone through all six volumes of American Vampire with many DC (New 52 Batman) and Marvel (X-Men) books here and there.

Of course, there's that other cheap alternative, but that one is a moral choice.

Dangit. That's DC, for you: always lagging behind.

Well, we don't know if it's financially viable for them. Does Marvel make huge profits through Marvel Unlimited? And would WB take a cut of the profit if DC does make a similar service?

 

[KevanG]

I think I remember something where he and a bunch of others fought them during an invasion but it was all off screen. I think it was during the time he adopted Zods kid before the New52.

 

[Lobo]

Has the current Mr Terrific's IQ ever been stated?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, we don't know if it's financially viable for them. Does Marvel make huge profits through Marvel Unlimited? And would WB take a cut of the profit if DC does make a similar service?

DC is completely owned and operated by WB.

 

[Sundancer]

Did Lucius know Bruce is Batman before Batman Begins?

 

[Panthro]

Are there any good Blue Devil trades out there?

 

[KevanG]

Did Lucius know Bruce is Batman before Batman Begins?

I think that by this point everyone that Bruce talks to more than once a week knows he's Batman. It's just kind of an open secret by now.

 

[Starlight1]

i wonder if the original dc universe will come back
